Dua Lipa is in hot water over her new 'universal' clothing range


'Universal and accessible for everyone.'

We absolutely adore Dua Lipa and so it pains us to write that her new clothing range, or rather what she's said about it, is totally wide of the mark.
The singer announced this week that she was releasing her capsule collection with /Nyden, a sister brand to H&M.

"I’m so excited for you to see these, can’t wait!" she wrote on Twitter.
Speaking to Vogue UK, she said that it was "exciting" to design her own clothes.
"I look for clothes that reflect strength and fearlessness, but also match up to today’s fast pace.
"So I’m excited to be co-creating with /Nyden on my designs – it’s going to be a collection that’s completely suited to me, both onstage and off, and for my fans.”
The news generated excitement from followers who wanted to know all about the range, including whether it would be inclusive.

In a tweet she's since deleted, Dua told followers that the range would go up to a UK size 16 - not exactly universal or accessible.
A number of followers criticised her for not catering to plus-size women.

More fool you, the UK Plus Size clothing market is out performing the straight size market, and is worth 6.6 BILLION, which you will be getting no part of because you couldn't be bothered to actually make an inclusive range *shrug*.

Okay but if there's no plus sizes it's not universally accessible???????

Unless you're revolutionising the standard UK clothing sizes and thus redefining "for everyone", you miiiiight want to dial down on the self-congratulating there, @DUALIPA https://twitter.com/saturrrday/status/999581910853652480 …

That’s the bottom end of plus size. You have fans that are bigger than a size 16, they should be catered for as well. I love you, but bigger people shouldn’t be penalised and they deserve their sizes to be included

Fortnite's Greasy Grove Treasure Map: Where To Find The Treasure

There's a new treasure map available in  Fortnite: Battle Royale.  This time you'll find the map tucked away in Greasy Grove as one of Season 4, Week 5's challenges. This is the first time during Season 4 for the challenges to drop on Thursday morning rather than Tuesday morning. The Greasy Grove treasure map comes on the heels of yesterday's v4.3 update. If you want to find the treasure this week, you can either head to Greasy Grove and search for the map, or you can read this guide which will lead you right to it. If you look closely you'll see this image almost resembles a face. Turn it so that the compass is facing north and you'll see it's the Evil Lair near Snobby Shores. The nefarious base, which was added as part of Season 4's mysterious villains vs superheroes theme, is just to the north-east of Snobby Shores, and the treasure itself can be found right on the outside 'nose.' Grab the treasure and you'll add 10...

7 Silent Signs Stress is Hurting Your Relationship

Between the demands of parenting, financial woes, and the everyday drudgery of maintaining a household, stress is unavoidable in a long-term relationship. But it doesn't have to ruin it. You feel like you don't have any time to yourself Sometimes, it's too easy to get so caught up in your daily routine that you forget to make room for some me-time. If you find that you become overwhelmed too easily and don't have time to do the things you want, that's a clear sign you're stressed. "Don't let the weight of everyday issues overshadow the connection with your partner," says Aniesa Schneberger, MA, a licensed mental health counselor who is also the founder of Tampa Life Change. She suggests scheduling breaks throughout the week that are reserved just for you.

Ida Lundgren and Bianca Van Damme Could Easily Kick Your Butt!

If there were ever two fathers whose daughters would be genetically programmed to kick butt, those would be Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren – two of the most badass actors-slash-martial-artists of our time. They have both taught their little daughters how to defend themselves and look fantastic while doing it. Let’s look at Dolph and Ida first Just like Dolph’s character in Rocky IV, Ivan Drago, his 21-year-old daughter Ida was asked to show off her amazing skills on the boxing ring as well. And, boy, did she deliver! In this photoshoot for Muscle&Fitness, Dolph is probably showing Ida some secret moves and teaches her about the weak spots and how important the footwork is. Maybe he even told her how to beat Sylvester Stallone. Or maybe I’m imagining thing. These days Ida is an aspiring young model, but she’s got a long way to go to be as popular as her dad. She may look like a frail girl most of the time, but don’t let her cute looks fool you! Ida can and...
